About Me

I have always been interested in Textile Art. Over the
years, despite working full time in an office job, I have taught bobbin lace
making and textile workshops for adults, paper-making classes and
demonstrations/talks for the additional support class at a Prep School.

With five City and Guilds courses under my belt I am now finding my
own focus. I work with recycled materials - mostly newspaper, aluminium cans,
garden wire and recycled clothes and fabrics. Having gone through a
period of making ‘art dolls’ which offer a surface for my love of text, I am
now working on ‘art to wear’ costumes, using rusted fabrics, discarded clothes
and other recycled materials. My current inspiration comes from Historical clothing.
